Ok, contrary to popular belief, A.D. does not stand for Anno Domini. At least not today it doesn't. No, here in Rangerland, A.D. will stand for "After Disaster" as the Rangers, attempting to put the Great Montreal Massacre of this past week behind them, are back on the ice tonight for a 7 p.m. tilt against the Sabres, this time in Buffalo.
Obviously a huge game for the Rangers tonight. And we should be able to tell very early on how blowing a 5-0 lead against the Canadiens on Tuesday night, has affected them. There's really only 2 ways they can react. Good or bad. They can either let this be the start of a huge downward spiral, ala the 2007 New York Mets, and not make the playoffs, or they can be pissed as hell, use that complete embarrassment as a motivational spring board and go on an absolute tear, starting with Buffalo. They beat them to within an inch of their lives a week ago, there is no reason why they shouldn't at least just beat them today. And honestly at this point, anything less is unacceptable.
Anyway, here are some links to preview today's game. First the Daily News, then the Post, then Rangers.com.
Wish I could give a little bit more of a personal analysis, but I gotta be out the door, literally, in 7 minutes. So let's just hope that the Rangers have used these past few days off to really look themselves in the mirror. They need to right the ship, starting today. Tuesday sucked, and it sucked bad. And my blog from the other day indicated how angry I was. Let's hope they are just as angry. The collapse happened, nothing can change that. But it's over. So let's turn the page and go out and destroy Buffalo tonight!!
Puck drops at 7 pm. Enjoy the game everyone, and LET'S GO RANGERS!!!

The Habs dropped their next 2 after that game, including being shut out at home last night by the BJ's on "Bob Gainey Night." It was an aberration and a win tonight erases it completely, save for some retarded Devil fans who will bring it up for the next 2 years.
